The Threat on #Oodham Lands
By Ophelia Rivas, Censored News, July 12, 2026
O’odham VOICE Against the WALL
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security threatens to construct the Metal Wall on 62 miles of #TohonoOodham Nations lands adjacent the United States and Mexico International border.
"The O’odham Way of Life is dismissed in waiving national protective laws, as was done with the 2006 Secure Fence Act Vehicle Barrier and the 2014 Arizona Border Surveillance Technology Plan.
"The Integrated Fixed Towers were constructed, destroying and removing ancient human remains and burial property, and blowing up hills and mountains of great cultural significance to the O’odham.
"Along the 62 miles of O’odham lands the #BorderPatrol has been using military fear tactics on the people, and all their activities are unmonitored.
"Because he spoke out about border patrol and tribal police corruption, unarmed hereditary ceremony leader #RaymondMattia Sr was shot and killed by United States military called the border patrol along with a non-American Indian Tohono O’odham Nation Police Officer.
"Thirty-eight (38) bullets were shot at Ray, eleven (11) bullets hit his body as Ray stood unarmed in front of his house. Their brutal Excessive Force attack on a dying man is recorded in the Tucson Medical Examiners Report as blunt force trauma, his body marked by rifle butts, with cuts on his head, his nose and face, broken 12th rib and broken right arm.
"The border patrol officers, Scott Whitehouse, Dan Sifuentes and Ivan Torralva, and Tohono O’odham tribal police Cedric Randle, were not charged for killing Ray."

"'Raymond is my ceremony brother, and I have a lot of respect for him.'

U.S. Justice Department Rejects #CivilRights Complaint Filed for Murder of #RaymondMattia by #USBorderPatrol
By #OpheliaRivas, O'odham Voice Against the Wall, via #CensoredNews, January 6, 2025
"The system of justice for the killing of an American Indian is as expected by the people. The numerous federal agents on the Tohono O'odham reservation are justified in killing our people as they will not be held accountable by the system that pays them to be heavily armed and unmonitored on our land.
"The border patrol have not been prosecuted for deaths, rapes, molestations and human and drug trafficking.
"The Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice wrote to me:
"'The tragic death of Raymond Mattia, who was shot and killed at his home, by officers of U.S Customs and Border Patrol agents Whitehouse, SiFuentes, and Torralva, on May 18, 2023.'
'Mr. Mattia’s death was indeed a tragic loss. Mr. Mattia’s death was indeed a tragic loss. However, the information provided about the circumstances surrounding his death does not disclose a prosecutable violation of the federal criminal civil rights statutes enforced by the Criminal Section. Therefore, we regret that we are unable to assist with this matter."

For 13 years, Ray Kemble has been promised by Pennsylvania & the PA Constitution that he’d have clean water after it was poisoned by Coterra’s (Cabot Oil) fracking. Watch him struggle for justice in this doc. Gov. Shapiro, honor your promise. #JusticeForRay
